BIO-PSYCHO-SOCIAL-SPIRITUAL ASSESSMENTS

All behavioral health services include a comprehensive assessment of your current and past functioning. With this information, you and your therapist will create a personalized plan so you can succeed. This therapeutic relationship will serve as a foundation to make positive changes in your life.

SUBSTANCE ABUSE ASSESSMENTS

This comprehensive assessment will identify your pattern of mis-use of alcohol and/or drugs. Within this therapeutic relationship, you will identify your triggers and high risk situations. The therapist will make a treatment recommendation. If there is a concern about potential life-threatening withdrawal symptoms, a higher level of care will be recommended, such as a medical detox.

Note: For children ages 10 and under, a parent will need to complete the assessment with the therapist without the child present.

“Coping” is how we respond to stress. We may not have control over what happens TO us, but we have a lot of choices about how we RESPOND. Coping skills training helps to identify and practice healthy ways of managing stress. With your therapist’s support and guidance, you will learn to release behaviors which longer serve you and replace them with positive behaviors.
Watching a loved one suffer from mental health or substance use problems is very stressful. We can educate you on these issues so you are prepared to offer treatment resources when your loved one is ready.
